Jennifer Lopez is set to return as both host and performer for this year’s American Music Awards, airing live from Las Vegas on Memorial Day, May 26, on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. This marks Lopez’s second time hosting the ceremony, following her role in 2015 where she opened the show with a performance of her Grammy-nominated hit, “Waiting for Tonight.” Lopez has performed on the AMAs over 10 times, and has collected three awards over the years. “We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards,” Jay Penske, CEO, Dick Clark Productions, said in a statement. “Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show.  We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick off celebration of summer.” The upcoming broadcast will be the first regular American Music Awards broadcast in two and a half years, and the first AMAs to air on CBS, which previously aired on ABC from 1974 to 2022.
